Exactly. If people are of a religious bent, they’ll gravitate to the denomination they find most meaningful. Many Central and South Americans have left Catholicism for various Protestant sects — like the former addict and prostitute in this piece who happily joined a welcoming Pentecostal church. For the same reason, violent Mexican drug cartel members practice weird sorts of voodoo and santeria. It “speaks to them.”
